writing more on this blog...

I told a friend of mine that I was going to start writing again on my blog yesterday.

Here we go: Last night I met a young lady who just got married on Monday at a bar in Honolulu overlooking Waikiki Beach. She was there on her honeymoon and just got into a fight with her husband.

I noticed she wasn't wearing her wedding room. She said that she went swimming and left it in her room. That sounded like a valid reason to me.

Long story short. I just listened to her. She said her husband didn't listen to her and that he thought he was always right.

I hope going forward her husband listens to her and becomes more realistic about himself. He's lucky to have her.

He passed away in the early morning on April 14, 2013, a Sunday. He was 85.

He was my Aunt's husband.

Hadn't seen him in over two years. The last time I saw him I dropped him off at the Venetian in Vegas after he took me and my father to dim sum near LV's odd Chinatown. Orchid's Garden- which by the way, has very good dim sum.

He looked good and fit at that time. However, me and my dad were amused that he thought he was 84, when in fact he was 83 at the time. I recall saying to him, "you don't need to add any more years to your age, hell I don't either!"

I didn't have a chance to say goodby to Uncle Paul, yet he will always be in my thoughts...

He was generous and gave me chances that I probably didn't deserve.

I want to thank him and I will always have respect for him.

Rest in peace Uncle Paul...
